Abstract excerpt
XBF-1 is an anterior neural plate-specific, winged helix transcription factor that affects neural development in a concentration-dependent manner. A high concentration of XBF-1 results in suppression of endogenous neuronal differentiation and an expansion of undifferentiated neuroectoderm. Here we investigate the mechanism by which this expansion is achieved. Our findings suggest that XBF-1 converts ectoderm to a...
